I wonder if this note is dictated only by presence of setter methods or something else. – Vadzim Oct 16 '15 at 16:01

It certainly doesn't look thread safe looking at the source

Looking closely in the source suggests that it should be thread safe in case you don't call setter methods after first initialization.
